 SPP CD Review: Margi Harrell
A piano teacher in southern Arkansas, Harrell has contributed music to an enormous list of websites, many of which are religious or patriotic.
The CD opens with a very nice and mostly solo piano (synth strings enter later in the piece) arrangement of “The Greatest Love of All”.
The classical pieces that are included are arrangements of the second movement of Beethoven’s “Sonata Pathetique,” the “Swan Lake Theme,” and a Chopin “Romantic Etude.” The first two are very nicely done, but adding synth to Chopin was not a good idea!
